“hotel gran ducat barcelloma”

hotel in ottima posizione, centralissimo! le stanze sono piccole ma comunque sufficientemente confortevoli; il bagno è anche questo piccolo e un pò datato. qualità della pulizia, buona. giudizio finale: la posizione compensa qualunque altro difetto dell'hotel, comunque il rapporto qualità/prezzo complessivamente può dirsi buono (da hotel 3 stelle!).

“Good location but rooms are too small”

Location could not be better, a few meters from the Rambla and Catalunya Square, Noisy due to traffic and rooms are too small, at the rate we paid we were expecting more room to move around.

“Nice Place”

“Vintage Hotel circa 1950's?”

This hotel fit the requirements that my Dad used to live by: "A place to lay my head, and take a hot shower." A clean, but noisy hotel. The marble floors throughout made great echo chamber, and people would come in late at night, yelling for their friends, or talkig loud to each other, and made it rough sleeping. Once you got used to the Sada (Subway) that must have ran under the hotel, this was an very comfortable room in which to plan your visit to Barcelona ans use as a base camp, if you will. The rates were cheaper, and the maid kept the room spotless.

“Great Location”

I stayed for 4 nights in a very comfortable and clean room on the 3rd floor. I've read about the noise and vibration when the metro passed underneath the hotel, so I was ready to deal with that, to my surprise, I barely felt it in the morning and it didn't bother me since it was time to head out anyways. I didn't eat breakfast at the hotel; there are plenty of places to eat around and experience what the locals have like "bocadillos de jamon". Overall, great location, close to all the action around Placa Catalunya, las ramblas, and easy access to metro, aerobus, and bus turistic.

“Great location, nice hotel but very expensive for what you get”

The room was pleasant enough, clean, OK size. Location was absolutely great. Breakfast service and food availability was poor - e.g. run out of scrambled eggs and not topped up for at least 20 mins, when no where near end of service time. Hotel was very expensive for what you get, probably for the location, but the rest was not quite up to the cost.

“The room is not what they show in pictures!”

The hotel has a great location, but they put me in a really small room, totaly diferent from what they show on the website. I had to argue with them for hours to get the room I booked, and they wanted me to pay more for that.. I've booked a doble room and they've put me in a single room, really small.. After all, they changed my room and didn't charge me, but just because I really fought with them.

“Excellent location, clean, good value for money - take earplugs for subway!”

Hotel in a fantastic location right on place Catalunya, easy walking distance to La Rambla, marina, Gaudi's house and the Gothic quarter. An excellent position for exploring the city. Clean and basic rooms although the subway runs right underneath the hotel and it is not very deep. Take earplugs incase you are on the first floor or request a top floor room! Couldn't have asked for a better location for the price of this hotel - staff friendly, free internet access, air conditioned, small balcony. Excellent value for money and a superb location for a short weekend break mid august.

“Great location to explore the city”

Seriously good value for the location, we were about 1 min walk from the Placa Catalunya. (The bus from the airport, tourist buses, and metro all convene here and no matter how lost you get on foot you can always find your way back here) I think the rooms vary in size, ours was very comfortable. Nevertheless the rooms were very clean and tidy. I could hear the trains faintly but we were on the 5th floor and I imagine it may be worse at ground level. No real restaurant or facilities but all we wanted was a room. I would recommend this hotel for people wanting to spend most of their time outside of the hotel, exploring the city. Because of the location it is perfect for this.
